Okay, that make sense. Perhaps, a note about that somewhere might prove
</div>
<div>
useful.

I think that what was confusing, at least for me, is that the "doveadm-pw"
</div>
<div>
man page says:
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
-l List all supported password schemes and exit successfully.
</div>
<div>
There are up to three optional password schemes: BLF-CRYPT
</div>
<div>
Blowfish crypt), SHA256-CRYPT and SHA512-CRYPT. Their
</div>
<div>
availability depends on the system's currently used libc.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
I had assumed, obviously incorrectly, that I had to enter the scheme into the
</div>
<div>
dovecot conf file as indicated earlier.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
Perhaps, for people like me that are not the sharpest knife in the drawer, a
</div>
<div>
notation to that affect might prove useful.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
Just my 2 ￠.

I guess the manpage could use some updating. Thank you for pointing this out.
